Cream of onion soup

Starter Serves 4 45 min

This bistro classic, enriched with cream, makes a good quick supper with a hunk of crusty bread. Garlic bread goes especially well. Season it liberally and garnish with chopped parsley and croutons. You could stir in a tablespoon of sherry before blending.
